Cooler Master peripherals, as with most of their products in the last two year or so, have made great strides. From high end offerings to the more affordable options, Cooler Master seems to be able to cater to all price segments in a way that few if any other peripherals vendor can. Making high end peripherals isn’t easy but it is simpler than dealing with the more budget offerings of the price sensitive market. Cooler Master seems to have pulled it off or at least come to a winning formula with surprisingly great products at an alarmingly low price. The Cooler Master CK550 RGB is testament to this and it’s not difficult to see why.
